I remember my very first day of high school, and all the preparation that went into organising my brand new school bag. I was convinced that I needed a solution to every problem, an item for every scenario and practically packed my entire life into my backpack!

Looking back, I realise how much of a mistake that was, and how carrying an unnecessary 10 kilos on my shoulders created one big mess.

Now in year 9, I still carry a backpack (since I’m not all too interested in handbags and tote bags), and have gotten the real hang of packing the necessities, as well as some extras just in case!

I’ve always been a huge fan and strict follower of routine and habit. For years now, I’ve followed the same schedule each and every day in order to maximise my day, and everything I do throughout it.

Creating a morning routine, in my opinion, is all about finding what works for you. This post today is just a fun way for you to get to know me better, and does not in any way mean using this routine, ESPECIALLY if you're no morning person.

With so many advancements in technology during the 21st century, children now are born into an age of learning, adaptation, and media.

As teenagers, we go to school each day, inching towards the future and planning our lives as adults and independent beings. We use phones, social media and technology to make up large aspects of our everyday lifestyles.

When it comes to academic and life success, motivation and staying motivation is undoubtedly the most important thing to remember.

While high school often makes it difficult to stay both focused and motivated, with the large piles of homework and coursework to finish in such short amounts of time, it certainly is possible!

High school is hard. Full stop. And I completely get it. I mean damn, I’m not even halfway there and I already find myself questioning my motivation sometimes.

But while high school often sucks, and can get really difficult and confusing at times, there are a few things that may help change that.

Being a teen in the 21st century is really weird, to say the least. While today, I stand tall (quite literally!) As a 14 year old girl in Year 9 of high school, I remember and often reminisce about times before life became so complicated.

In today’s blog post, I’m going to be talking about a bunch of random things that I’ve learned from being a teenager!

Many of these tips have shaped me for the rest of my life and have helped me become the person I am today.

Students are often the most common victims of stress. Factors such as family problems, friendships, relationships, school work, assignments and social media are just some of the many stressors that students experience.

In the age of social media and technology, the world has seen a dramatic increase in mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD and other disorders often characterised by stress.

For most people, this time of year is one of the most stressful times, as it’s filled with heaps of assignments, work, and exams.

With half a year's work needing to be crammed and memorised purely for a hour-long test, it can be really overwhelming for many students.

With exams nearby, I wanted to write a post discussing tips for preparing for, and sitting exams and tests.

So, if you want to survive exam week and go out of it with straight A’s, keep reading!

Learning in general can be pretty hard. But what if you’re doing it the wrong way? This post is all about learning styles, and finding the right one for YOU so you can learn the RIGHT way! Keep Reading!

As humans, we all experience stress. Whether it’s about your hair for a party or studying for an exam, we all, especially teenagers, experience it. Stress is our automatic reaction to a situation where we feel threatened or anxious. But how do we deal with stress? Though it’s an easy question, many struggle to answer it.
